Hi Guys,

I need the history of a vehicle checked. If you have access please PM me. Much appreciated.
 
Couple of the guys on the bmwfanatics site might be able to help you if you get no joy here.
 
Just phone BMW with the VIN? They are happy to oblige with motorcycles, sure it'll be the same far cars.
 
I had the same thing with my VW, I called VW and they gave me all the information (services etc)
If you are the owner of the vehicle, I'm sure they'll give you all the information you need without a hassle.

They are quite reluctant to give service history info out without ownership consent.
 
I phoned BMW customer care 2 years back and said 'hi- I've seen a 130i at a second card dealer and I'd like to check it out ...'

No issues
 
Thanks guys.

I just came from viewing the car and I passed it on the spot. It's amazing how people "don't" look after their cars. I knew something was wrong when I saw the price... Drove 250kms for nothing :D

Front doors doesn't unlock, windows doesn't work. Had bumps all around the body (these I saw thought it's ok and I'll fix it since it's for 1/2 the trade price). Interior is farked, display doesn't work... was insane. Never seen a car this bad before :D

Seriously though, how do some cars get this bad? It's like people go out to break them sometimes I swear

Wife and I was discussing it earlier. As if the car was stolen and the thieves drove it for years before the car was recovered. It's not even a stolen recovery. Car is just farked up... I'm amazed tbh.
 
Why even look at a used bm, it's only gonna cost your first born in maintenance :D

Mate in the office bought a cheap-ish A3. Lots of paint chipped on the driver door - for the two years that the wife drove it she'd park in the garage, and let the garage wall let her know when her door was fully open :wtf: Didn't the husband once think to just put some foam on the wall?
